Anyone else drinking sodas?

So I am obsessed with Dr pepper. I have been this entire pregnancy(I'm 33weeks) The most I'll have a day is 3 12oz cans. I know I'm not supposed to have that much caffeine but can't help it. Any of you ladies having the same problem?

I love Coke and Sprite myself. I try to limit how much, but it's so hard. They are my favorite!

Dr pepper is the only thing that calms my stomach down. My bf is trying to get me to drink ginger ale and sprite but nothing else works for me at all. Personally I think it's better for me to be able to eat and not be throwing up every 5 min so I'm fine with a little caffine :)

They say if you're pregnant you shouldn't intake more than 200mg of caffeine a day. That's equivalent to a 12oz cup of coffee where as coke and Dr pepper only have about 35mg in the 12oz cans. But then again if we are worrying about the caffeine intake we have to worry about how much chocolate we eat too. Ugh. Why does everything that's not good for us(but yet tastes so good) have to be our main pregnancy cravings? Lol

Im so glad to know im not alone lol. I be feeling so bad that i constantly crave tahitian treat, & sometimes root beer. I try my best not to drink to much of it but i so can't help it. I feel a little better now i see there's plenty of other ladies that have a pop craving :)

I try to stay away from anything with red dye 40 in it
And I can't really drink soda right now anyway it doesn't make me feel good

[ranamomma]

Now I want some. 3 sounds like a lot. Maybe try watering it down a bit with seltzer water?

Yea mine has to be ice cold or it won't be as satisfying. I keep saying it would be funny if I can't stand Dr pepper after I have my baby lol

Dr. Pepper seams to calm my morning sickness.

I am 18 weeks with my 4th baby. I couldn't drink soda my entire first trimester. It was way too sweet. Before I got pregnant I loved soda. I can drink it now if its cold with ice in it. I am having a boy

[layned10]

Lol im not a "soda drinker" but this baby surely is!!! And it has to be cold eventhough is cold where I am...it all started with ginger ale and then any fruity soda drink...lol

[chloegc1023]

That is so funny cuz with my first pregnancy I would drink a can of coke in a cup filled with ice and then I would chomp on the ice everyday!  With this pregnancy so far it's the same thing.  What's funny is before I got pregnant I would never drink soda!  lol

[lulu1314]

Lol my boyfriend laughs at me for craving it so much. I just say it's the baby that's craving it not me haha. Which is kinda true cause I was more of a coke person before I got pregnant but now I can't stand cokes. I just try not to overdue it and make sure I'm still drinking water. Thank you! I am so ready to see my sweet boy ;)

[shaboopi]

LOL!  I'm only in the first trimester, baby #4. With my first it was Dr Pepper, same with my second.  Both boys. Third it was coke and this one is the same.  I just downed like 4 cups while I was at lunch. I told my friend, I reached my limit of caffeine for the day. LOL! You'll be fine and so will your baby. Just a little longer and you'll see.  Good luck!
